hmm, well that makes it look like the manual import had worked fine. If you try that same thing, opening python, import timing, and then instead of or in addition to the help(timing), try

Code: Select all

Timer = timing.Timer"
and see if it somehow still gives you an error. The output you got from help certainly makes it look like it should work fine.

When you changed the code in the files over to

Code: Select all

import timing
Timer = timing.Timer
did you retype that all by hand, or had you edited the prexisting line (and then perhaps copy-pasted)-- I'm wondering if there was something weirdly off with the characters in a way that didn't visibly render...? I'm really stretching for ideas...

I typed it each time.

But without the " it works fine,

Code: Select all

shows what you would expect, the class that showed in help(timing) without the module stuff.

It seems this bug is destined to haunt the forums and remain unanswered. Till next time, maybe I check back soon, maybe in another year or two.

ah yeah, the ' " ' at the end of the line was a typo, sorry about the confusion.

So a manual import of it seems to work just totally fine. I'm stumped.

I hope you don't just go way for a couple years, though-- the fix of just commenting out the lines using the Timer wouldn't be much more work than you've already done, and would let you play just fine -- there are a LOT of improvements in 0.4.4 over 0.4.3...

Is there another "timing.py" somewhere in the path?

Is the python which runs the AI from within FO the same python that gets accessed from the command line? Are there multiple on Fedora? Python2 vs python3?

I had looked into that, there are no standard modules named 'timing', and the search priorities are (at least if there is not a 'builtin' module by that name) to search the local directory before anywhere else.

Hmm, I think not necessarily the same version -- I think the the version invoked by FO is controlled by the build process.

gvdm: if you're still around, to shed light on just what is being imported by FO, there's one more thing we could try -- putting some of this checking you just did manually into Invasion.py -- so instead of

Code: Select all

from timing import Timer
have it do

Code: Select all

import pydoc
import timing
print pydoc.render_doc(timing)
Timer = timing.Timer
in a working installation it should give (in the AI logfile) the same results as we saw from the manual import and help(timing)

So, I have /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/timingmodule.so whatever that is and is not timing.py

#23 Post by oris1024 »

was just dealing with non-moving AI myself on ubuntu 14.04 (and 13.10). After reading this topic and not finding nothing about timers in my log files decided to check on my install. My findings:

Had this problem with: freeorion-0.4.3_i386.deb
Don't have it no more with: freeorion_0.4.3+svn7247-1_i386.deb and freeorion-data_0.4.3+svn7247-1_all.deb

there ya go. rename the freeorion timing.py file to FO_timing.py, and change the imports to

Code: Select all

from FO_timing import Timer
and you should be good to go.

I'll try look a little more into that timing module you have, and perhaps we'll change the name of ours across the board.

Hmm, it's hard finding out much about that module -- from what I can find it appears to be specific to Fedora, for which it is apparently standard in python 2.7. That's a good enough reason to rename ours though. I'll try to do that and post a patch a little later.

ok I committed a name change, as r7710. Since this appears it would affect all Fedora users I made a new Support forum post with the title explicitly referencing an AI crash in Fedora; a patch is attached to that post.
